Description:
Location, location, location -- it's what sets Park Grill apart from all the other upscale comfort-food restaurants in town. Set in the middle of Millennium Park, a hugely popular gathering spot along Michigan Avenue and Randolph Street, Park Grill makes a great stop after a late-afternoon stroll or before a summer concert at the Pritzker Music Pavilion. (This is a popular spot for pre-show meals, so definitely make a reservation; if you want, you can order from the special three-course pre-theatre menu.) The dining room itself is simple but welcoming, with floor-to-ceiling windows along one wall that look out onto the Michigan Avenue skyline (you won't, alas, get a panoramic view of the park). The menu highlights American favorites, some prepared simply (grilled leg of lamb and rotisserie chicken), others featuring a more international twist, such as pappardelle pasta with littleneck clams, chorizo sausage, leeks, and basil; and braised rabbit. For lighter appetites, there are a number of fish dishes, salads, and some thin-crust pizzas. Lunch selections include a good mix of sandwiches -- everything from Cajun chicken breast and barbecue beef to a smoked-salmon club and BLT with truffle mayonnaise. Because Millennium Park attracts so many families, they also have a kids' menu.

Great place for drinks and snacks on a nice day at the park

Not sure I would have a full meal here, but stopped here for a drink (or three) and some snacks after a day of sight-seeing. Pork tacos were pretty good (although a little messy / greasy)....

Disappointing
-
I had a burger and it was $14....I thought that was a little pricey and it was not that good. A lot of stuff seemed dirty as well. Service was mediocre at best. I would seek out...

Slow service, so so food
-
The service must have been over taxed when I was there. It was slow and uneven. The soft shell crab sandwich I got was oily and unremarkable. It was also very noisy.

Most beautiful dining experience
-
I had an amazing time dining at Park Grill. In fact, my boss rents a small section of it every year and it's a wonderful time every time.
